   Could you describe what are instances good for generally?
   I know that in Oracle they are used to bypass limitation "one active 
database per 
server". Firebird doesn't have such limitation.
   In MySQL, perhaps, they are used to separate users and their databases on 
shared 
hosting. Firebird is not supposed to be used with shared hosting at all.
   Is there anything that I missed?..
